Dear All,
I am "blessed" with the Sunrise Internet Box (catastrophe) and absolutely need my own router. The Sunrise Internet Box has no bridge mode.
I have fibre (1GB) from OTO socket (and live in Bern).
Question: Can the following setting work?
OTO-Dose--> fibre cable--> MC220L (with original Sunrise GIBC converter SFP-31W2A (SM-10)-DR) and from there a Lan cable to my Netgear R7000 (router without modem function)?
Question to the dear community:
a) can this work or have I misunderstood something?
b) is there another (cheap and easy) way to bypass the Sunrise Box? (The Sunrise Fritzbox 5490 has no Brdige mode either)
c) if a) works - what speed can I expect?
Thank you very much!
According to this review at digitec:
https://www.digitec.ch/de...
it might work. However, I suspect that in contrast to the router mentioned there, the R7000 does not offer the simple option of running the DHCP client via VLAN ID 10 instead of directly on the WAN port. I would therefore rather recommend a cheap Mikrotik switch:
MikroTik Switch RB260GS 6 Port (5Ports)
This allows you to convert SFP with VLAN ID 10 to an untagged port, which is not possible with the simple media converter. The Netgear router can then do "normal" DHCP via the WAN port.
The moral of the story, however, is: If you are instructed to connect your own router to the Internet connection, I would advise a provider who also supports this and can help with questions and problems.
